Meet Dave
After Tropical Storm Helene devastated his farm, farmer Dave Roland lost his fall crop, his roadside stand, and most of his essential farming tools and equipment. The farm was his family’s sole source of income, and he didn’t know how they would survive. Dave attended a pop-up Disaster Relief Center. There, he met a legal aid attorney who helped him prepare an affidavit on the spot. Dave left with the paperwork he needed to get his farm back to working order, with a renewed sense of hope, and with an eagerness to share what he had learned with others.
